Effect of inoculum ratio for anaerobic digestion of hydrolyzed palm oil mill effluent for biogas production

Production of biogas from various organic wastes has been a topic for wastes management and utilization. However, most research focuses more on raw or untreated organic waste, particularly POME than that on hydrolyzed POME. An appropriate ratio of inoculum to include in an anaerobic digester for p...
